Hi,
Currently in rawhide the gcc is gcc-3.4 while the kernel (kernel-2.6.6-1.435)
was compiled with gcc-3.3. As a consequnce, when I try to insmod a module
I build myself (ADSL modem), I get in dmesg:
eagle_usb: version magic '2.6.6-1.435 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-3.4' should be '2.6.6-1.435 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-3.3'
and a insmod -v leads to 'Invalid module format'.
It maybe a good think to provide (keep) 'automatically' a compatible gcc,
just like how different kernels may coexist (I use yum). Or there could be
another solution...
Of course this is not a serious issue as it should disappear soon (and it
seems to be in compat-gcc).
